Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge

I don’t normally write reviews, but feel it’s my duty to report on the state of this seriously neglected, former icon of the high country. The lodge itself is pleasant enough, the cabins are massively outdated, wrinkles in the carpet, walls in need of a paint, chipped wooden surfaces. Cabin was clean, but the carpet was stained, deck was slimey and slippery, was a dead bird on deck first night, the Scottish maintenance person removed it and was very apologetic. Ain’t worth the coin, never again… Whoever is managing this place is either incompetent or not being payed enough.

Rooms dated. No internet. Bar understaffed so poor service. Bar doesn't open until 11.30 so can't get drinks or coffee. NO DISCOUNT on food in main dining room and no explanation why. French owned but no cognac in bar. Food in main dining room just awful. Limited menu and even then some menu items not available. Reception staff very helpful

Fantastic experience and Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge. Food Customer service. Authentic experience staying at cradle mountain in a wooden lodge. No WIFI no TV, lodges are god quality and bed comfortable with spa bath and log burner fire already made up. You can buy an access ticket for the National Park and shuttle Bus up to the mountain walks from reception and get bus from across the road. Great location.

Lovely location where we spent New Year's Eve, had the degustation dinner which was excellent. The staff were very helpful and very welcoming, nothing seemed a problem. The cabin we had was comfortable I think it was an older one but perfectly okay, the fire was prepared for us to just light it which was good. The wild life is incredible and enjoyable to spot. It is a place I would highly recommend whether you want to relax or walk.

Bisrto meal was great as was the atmosphere in the lodge. Paid top dollar for just a room with a spa bath ....no television or WiFi in the cabin! Which would be fine if there were at least a pack of cards or board games to fill in the evening. $579.00 for a spa bath,breakfast a lot over priced!!
